" since CM spends so much time talking about Knowledge of Man, of God, etc. But then I started reading this one called Lessons Before School, (https://www.amblesideonline.org/PR/PR07p105Lessonsbeforeschool.shtml) R. Somervalle says "whatever knowledge of permanent usefulness may be acquired during the early years of education, the main object of lessons before school is the development of certain habits of mind, and a certain intellectual capacity. To put it more definitely, I would say that we have to train a child's memory, understanding, observation, and imagination."<br /><br />I haven't gotten very far in the article, but it looks promising and challenging for mother homeschooling children up to 10.<br /><br />Which really goes along with Classical education as suggested by Stratford Caldecott, Andrew Kern, and Christopher Perrin. <br /><br />Okay, back to making Sunday Dinner.

But on the other hand, it was published in the Parents' Review, so I would take it that it was acceptable, overall, to the PR editorsAnne Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04094131363286846013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314975175792696409.post-73930694946357667632015-07-11T16:57:42.404-05:002015-07-11T16:57:42.404-05:00Interesting word in this PR: Chevy-case ( and not...Interesting word in this PR: Chevy-case ( and not the actor/ comedian) It is a ballad: (The Ballad of Chevy Chase) a 15th-century English ballad describing the battle of Otterburn between the Percys and the Douglases.<br />http://www.bartleby.com/40/22.html<br /><br />6) LITERATURE--Child aged twelve.
